I’ve been using this cleaning routine since March 2020, and it really is a game changer.
For those who are unfamiliar with the acronym, TOMM is a cleaning method, and it stands for: The Organised Mum Method.
Gemma Bray, the author of the method, has a blog, loads of videos on YouTube and a book where she explains the method.
Second level – Weekly Jobs
From Monday to Thursday you have a room, or a group of rooms to focus on, and you time yourself for 30 minutes.
The blog provides you with a checklist to help guide you, and you can pick and choose jobs.
The blog suggests the following schedule:
Monday: Living Room
Tuesday: Bedrooms
Wednesday: Hall & Stairs
Thursday: Kitchen
Friday: Focus day – see next level
First Level – Daily Jobs
- making the beds
- a spot clean of a part of each bathroom (for example, Monday – floors, Tuesday – surfaces, Wednesday – mirrors, etc)
- a quick hoover or sweep of the major traffic areas (usually kitchen, entrance and living-room)
- a load of laundry.
These jobs need to be done from Monday to Friday and they should only take 15 minutes to complete.
